"If Hospitals do not give a 7 day a week service they will be fined millions for not providing a standard level of service"

So how does that work then The National Health service is paid for by the tax payer, hospitals are part of the NHS and therefore paid for by the tax payer. So to my thinking fining a hospital for not providing a service will add to the bill for the NHS to be paid for by the taxpayer

So we pay more or  get a reduced level of service from the NHS for them not providing the service expected in the first place, or am I missing something

The reason the government fine departments is an excuse,to take money from there budget by a devious way,so they then say that,they have saved  xbillions from said budget.

Also the public sector needs to come into the 21st century/24 hour/7 day a week. Not think everybody works Monday to Friday 8--4. Basically don't get sick after 16.00hrs or over the weekend as only skelington staff, try get a doctor/ dentist appointment after 17.00hr.

So...who makes the fine....and where does the 'fine' go.
Surely that's just taking money back out of the NHS, to pay out again cause the hospital is then in the s**t

In my case it's my appendix and my foreskin that has gone missing.

Sounds like the makings of a nice necklace and some ear warmers for TB

It's ok I've fixed it. I had a word with Secretary of State for Health Mr C, I mean Mr H. The fine will now be imposed personally on the staff of the top 4 layers of management within the offending hospital, and as many of them are earning £100k or more a year, they can afford it

Governments are keen on fines in all walks of life and are always looking to extend the system into new areas. Even if like those with railtrack, it is just transferring tax payers money from one account to another. What they are not keen on is competition to their monopolies.

If there were more smaller hospitals instead of a few large impersonal ones, so there is one per area outside of the major cities and we were given a choice on where we were treated, fines would not be needed, just compete with a good quality standard of service and get paid by the government for treating them or have no patients and close.

But like I said government much prefer monopolies, lack of choice and fines, oh and in far too many instances, an unacceptable poor quality service at a top of the range taxpayer price.

Looks like another five year tractor plan to me.
